SMU in Plano Summer Youth Programs

[raven70]

Received a card in the mail yesterday on Summer Youth Program through SMU in Plano (located near Shops at Legacy), and looks similar to programs son did through the Y one year (e.g., LEGO engineering type course).

He is interested in the digital gaming class. Has anyone done one of these? Courses all look to be 3 hours a day for 1 week and most around $200, but some as high as $500.

Last summer my son was in Digital Gaming I and really enjoyed it. We are going to sign him up again this summer.

We did two classes last summer. The descriptions sounded phenomenal. I was very excited about them for my DS. I thought $400 was a little high but I thought that meant they would totally be worth it. We were very disappointed. I hope others can share more positive experiences. The kids never got to do any of the activities in the course description. It was ran by a few older college students who just kind of hung out and talked while the kids came up with "inventions". There wasn't enough materials for all the kids to be active participants. Not worth the high price in my opinion. If anyone has found similar camps that were worth the money, we would love to hear about them.
